Riley’s car show

October 13th, 2006

 
I stopped by Riley’s Roast beef last Saturday to check out some of the cars at their weekly antique auto get-to-gether.  I never really thought of stopping to look at old cars but I was passing by and it the weather was so nice, I thought I’d check it out. ivermectin amount to take if i weigh 360 pounds
It seems like a real craft to care for these automobiles and they all looked like they rolled out of a showroom. pra serve a ivermectina I have a newfound respect for what these people do, it certainly must be labor of love. acheter ivera

Who knocked the L out of Framlingham?

October 10th, 2006

 
Monday night Ethan and I went to the Framingham Historical Society’s lecture about how Framingham is named after it’s sister town in England, “Framlingham“.  The above picture is a woodcut printed on the programs for the lecture. ???? ????? 31   The guest speaker was s nice man who is the trustee of the museum at the castle in Framlingham England, and took time out from his vacation here to give the lecture.

The seats filled up quickly and attendance was more than they planned so it was a tad uncomfortable but good to see there was such an interest. ???? ???? ??????
It was a pretty detailed lecture, not best for the mildly interested- guilty as charged, although I wasn’t sleeping like the lady next to me was (plenty of people were immersed though). ???? ?????   At the end of the 1 hour and 40 minute lecture it was concluded that losing the “L” was most likely a result from lack of uniform spelling rules when naming the town.

There will also be a Framingham Hauntings and Mysteries Trolley Tour on October 27th that I want to go on.  I’m glad they’re doing this; it’ll be interesting and fun to hear old(e) spooky tales of Framingham!

Fountain St. Studios

October 3rd, 2006


Next to my gym is a big ugly building (the Bancroft Building) that contains, among other things, artists’ studios.  Bein a weekend artist myself, I thought it was great that this kind of stuff goes on in such an unsuspecting area.
I went to check out a few artists studios and see what their work is like. 

Anne Walker was my first visit.  Her studio was so inspiring to me, it had so much going on and she showed us some of her past work and work in progress and answered any questions I had about her work.  Besides being one of the nicest people in the world, her work is really great too. ivermectin treat seborrheic dermatitis  

After spending some time with Anne, she brought Ethan and I upstairs to see William, of Paul Alexander Gallery.  William showed us a piece he was working on and we had a really great conversation about art and Framingham, we could have talked all day. 

My favorite piece was a little charmer called “Alt Blu” he just taped to the wall. William then brought us to the showroom of restored/conserved furniture he and his partner present to clients.  They do amazing work and have done such a great job remodeling the space, they really put a lot into their work and presentation.

The third artist I visited was Kate Gasser, another super-nice person who somehow keeps a very clean studio and has a gentle vibe to her work.

She said she really likes Framingham and the buildings downtown.  Here’s a couple she did of scenes nearby.

She also does fantastic line drawings that I forgot to take pictures of while we were talking away.

When I was leaving the studios, there was a guy walking around the building playing the saxophone with his dog. does ibuprofen have an effect on tablets of ivermectin taken orally   I forget how, but we started talking and I asked him if he was in a band here in the building and he said no he just plays the sax, he does have space in the building but he just “jams”. ivermectin sq  

I could hang around this building all day, I’m so glad I went and met these great people and saw what goes on in here. 

In April, they will have open studios for the public to come and view the studios and works of the resident artists.

Downtown heroes: The Fitts and Hulme families

August 18th, 2006


I was reading this article in the MWDN. 
It’s so great to read that someone with money cares about downtown.  It’s important to have us, the residents, care too. We keep our microscopic yard nice and picking up any trash in the street, etc… but what the Fitts’ and the Hulme’s are doing is a huge help.  I really do hope this starts a trend of restoration and interest in making downtown nice again. 
Thanks for caring guys!
